Milan's general aviation traffic touches down eight kilometers north of the city center, directly on the airstrip of Bresso. This active airfield, home to the Aero Club Milano and Aero Club Bresso, dominates the local landscape. Beyond the runway, the municipality is entirely conurbated with the metropolitan capital and neighboring Sesto San Giovanni.
Despite its modest footprint, the town holds a striking demographic record. Packing 25,712 residents into a tight grid, Bresso is the most densely populated Italian municipality outside the province of Naples. Watching light aircraft take off provides an unusual spatial contrast to the intense urban concentration surrounding the flying field.
